Ep 2 - Cling to me.
[Morning - Hudson Global Enterprises boardroom]
Azer sat patiently, tapping his foot against the polished floor, his eyes fixed on the clock.
Azer Pierce Hudson
Where is that fool already? He’s not worth wasting my time.
Azer muttered under his breath.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
I'm here, I'm here. Good morning.
Azer Pierce Hudson
you're 20 minutes late, Mr. Edrige!
Tristan Clyde Edrige
Come on, baby. You missed me that much?I can tell, no need to deny it.
Azer Pierce Hudson
In your dreams.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
I’m late because I brought you food. Your secretary said you only drink coffee in the morning. I’m afraid my wife would get hungry.
Azer Pierce Hudson
are you insane?what wife?
Tristan Clyde Edrige
I'm just kidding, here you go.
Clyde handed a takeout bag with garlic butter steak, mashed potatoes, and a small slice of cheesecake.
Azer looked at him, a flicker of something dangerous in his eyes.
Azer Pierce Hudson
Thanks. I’ll eat this… but I’m not falling for your tricks.
Clyde smiled, watching him with quiet admiration as Azer took a bite.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
Are you free tonight, Mr. Hudson?
he asked, his tone dripping with playful intent.
Azer Pierce Hudson
why?what's your plans?
Tristan Clyde Edrige
I was thinking of..taking you out for a dinner.
He looked away, a faint smirk tugging at his lips as he waited for Azer’s response.
Azer Pierce Hudson
just dinner?I don't mind.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
"Great,” Clyde said with a grin. “I know a lot of best restaurants perfect for us two"
At night, in a fine dining restaurant, Clyde sat back in his chair, confidently ordering an array of fancy dishes truffle pasta, wagyu steak, caviar-topped appetizers, and a bottle of the finest wine on the menu.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
let's dig in, should we?
Azer Pierce Hudson
you ordered a lot, can we even finished this all?
Tristan Clyde Edrige
don't worry, even if can't. We can bring this home.
Clyde leaned forward with an easy smile, placing a variety of dishes onto Azer’s plate.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
"You have to try all of these,” he said, as if it were non-negotiable.
As the night grew late, Clyde insisted on driving Azer home though “home” turned out to be Clyde’s sprawling mansion, its grand gates opening to reveal a floodlit driveway and a house that looked more like a palace.
Clyde carried Azer in his arms, effortlessly crossing the marble-floored foyer and up the sweeping staircase, before gently setting him down in the center of his lavish bedroom.
Clyde stared at Azer’s peaceful face, his heartbeat quickening. He leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss against them, lingering for just a second before pulling away with a faint, dangerous smile.
Azer Pierce Hudson
what the hell did you do?
Azer’s eyes fluttered open, catching Clyde frozen just inches away. His voice was low and sharp.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
I'm sorry, I can't resist you. you're too beautiful right now.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
nevermind, I'm just overthinking things. You should sleep in the bed.
Azer Pierce Hudson
what about you?
Tristan Clyde Edrige
I'll just sleep on the floor.
Azer Pierce Hudson
just sleep with me, this is your bed.
Clyde froze for a second, processing Azer’s words.
Then a slow, disbelieving grin spread across his face.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
You’re letting me sleep in the same bed? Careful, Mr. Hudson… I might take that as an invitation.
Azer Pierce Hudson
do whatever you want.
Clyde pinned Azer on the bed, leaning in with a playful smirk. He slowly unbuttoned Azer’s shirt and tugged at his jacket, his gaze never leaving Azer’s eyes.
